not sure where this is all going…but putin coming out and flat out saying there are reports of us involvement in starting georgia attack on south ossetia..and that he thinks its part of a ploy to help mccain get elected…this yet another scary confirmation that someone within the us gov’t wants themselves some war and wants it badly….

here’s a spot-on article by pat buchanon on the USA’s flawed stance toward the russia-georgia conflict…buchanan has become one of the more staunch anti-war, anti-imperialism advocates coming from the american msm.

“A resurgent Russia is no threat to any vital interests of the United States. It is a threat to an American Empire that presumes some God-given right to plant U.S. military power in the backyard or on the front porch of Mother Russia.”

“Indeed, Putin’s invoking Bush’s Iraq adventure points directly to the way in which Bush has enabled other world powers to act impulsively. With his doctrine of preemptive warfare, Bush single-handedly tore down the architecture of post-World War II international law erected by the founders of the United Nations to ensure that rogue states did not go about launching wars of aggression the way Hitler had. While safeguarding minorities at risk is a praiseworthy goal, the U.N. Charter states that the Security Council must approve a war launched for this purpose or any other, excepting self-defense. No individual nation is authorized to wage aggressive war on a vigilante basis, as Bush did in Iraq or Russia is now doing in the Caucasus. ”

this article details how kuwait, i.e. the basecamp of U.S. Iraq Forces, is quote “Kuwait has activated its Emergency War Plan after an armada of US naval battle groups headed for the Persian Gulf, Middle East Times reports. “

More fodder for those of us who think the neocons/military industrial complex is making one last stand at their hegemony….
